People who tried this

β€œThe first three days were brutal. My fingers still hurt, my chord changes sounded like a car crash, and I kept losing the rhythm. I practiced 20 minutes daily, which felt like an eternity. But by day five, something clickedβ€”I could play through the verse without stopping. It sounded rough, but it was recognizable music.”

β€œThe real breakthrough came on day 16 when I recorded myself playing "Horse with No Name." Listening back, I realized I actually sounded like someone playing guitar, not someone torturing an instrument. I started practicing 30-35 minutes daily without even noticing the time passing.”
